The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes have always been
good stewards of the natural resources. Today we strive to
achieve good stewardship through excellent Fish, Wildlife,
Recreation, and Conservation Program Management.

The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Fish, Wildlife,
Recreation, and Conservation Programs are organized within
the Tribal Natural Resources Department under the Division
of Fish, Wildlife, Recreation, Conservation.

The Division strives to accomplish this by maintaining
professional staffing, monitoring resources, coordinating
with Federal, State, and local agencies, cr`and
implementing management plans and regulations, and educating
users in the wise and ethical use of the resources.

Our efforts include continuing our cultural traditions,
interdisciplinary consultation, setting high standards and
professional qualifications, providing due process and
public involvement as part of the regulation development
process. Our efforts also include non-Tribal members on
regulatory boards, staying active in the political process.

These efforts have gained us recognition by Federal agencies
and benefit Tribal Government, Tribal members, and the
entire reservation community.
